<p>In a recent speech to donors, President Biden raised his self-proclaimed devotion to his Catholic faith. ; Ironically, he did it in conjunction with his pro-abortion policies. ; He said that as a practicing Catholic, he “is not big on abortion.”</p>



<p>(I will pause until you stop laughing).</p>



<p>Of course, Biden is lying through his rosary. ; Arguably, Biden is the most pro-abortion president this nation has ever had. ; Everything he says and does is designed to promote and expand abortion. Although he intimates that he has religious reservations about abortion, he said – in the same speech &#8212; that “Roe v. Wade got it right.” ; He favors abortion on demand. ; He has not embraced any limitations – even against late-term abortions or partial birth abortions that are opposed by more than 70 percent of Americans.</p>



<p>Biden is not on the sidelines – passively accepting the current situation. ; He is using every means possible – from policies to personal statements – to promote abortion as just another women’s health issue … a right. ; No big effing deal.</p>



<p>Like Biden, I grew up in the Catholic Church – maintaining my devotion past my college years. ; I was one of the few 1960s students who attended mass every Sunday. ; In later years, I found myself at odds with Catholic doctrine on a number of issues. ; Unlike Biden, I left the Church of Rome – temporarily selecting the Episcopal (Catholic-lite) version. ; I eventually gave up on organized religion altogether. ; ;</p>



<p>Biden, on the other hand, takes the preposterous position that he is a “good Catholic” who happens to favor abortion. ; It is the level of his pro-abortion activism that creates the problem. ; You cannot be supporting and promoting abortion and be a “good Catholic” – any more than you could support Hitler and be a good Jew.</p>



<p>Abortion is a FUNDAMENTAL moral issue – not one about which you can be neutral. ; Terminating the life of a human being – and harvesting the organs for commercial and medical purposes – is morally acceptable or morally wrong. ; There is no grey area. ; ;</p>



<p>Biden is an abortion activist … period. ; And that does not comport to Catholic ideology. ; Or does it?</p>



<p>In terms of doctrine, the Catholic Church is very clear. ; Abortion in almost all instances – especially the most common cases of abortion-on-demand – is a violation of Catholicism – a MORTAL sin. ; That is the kind that gets you eternal damnation in Dante’s Inferno. ; ;</p>



<p>How the supreme leader of the Church handles the situation is quite another matter.</p>



<p>I see Pope Francis like those progressive prosecutors who simply refuse the enforce the laws they are sworn to … enforce. ; The Catholic Church is headed by an autocrat who simply ducks, dodges and disappears on the issue of abortion.</p>



<p>Yes, His Holiness occasionally expresses his opposition to abortion, but never with much conviction – and he certainly does not use the power and influence of the papacy to oppose abortion. ; When is the last time he excommunicated any so-called Catholics for supporting abortion? ; Or even banned them from Holy Communion – as a few local bishops have. ; Not only has Francis NOT chastised Biden for his pro-abortion activism – he has had meetings with the President in which abortion was not on the list of talking points. ; ;</p>



<p>According to many Catholic theologians, supporting abortion is a sin of such gravity that it automatically separates (ex-communicates) a person from the communion of Catholics until the person confesses and changes their ways. ; ;</p>



<p>It is impossible to imagine that Biden does not know that – and that he is willfully using his proclaimed religious affiliation as a fraud on the public.</p>



<p>While I am pro-life, I have family and friends who support abortion. ; None of them, however, are Catholics or claim to be “good Catholics.” ; That would be a logical and devotional impossibility. ; ;</p>



<p>And then there is the issue of Biden’s support of homosexuality and the Church. ; He is at odds with the Catholic Church on that one, too. ; So am I. ; It is one of the issues that caused me to cancel my membership in the Catholic Church. ; I would be a hypocrite if I were to claim fealty to the Catholic Church. ; So, what does that make Joe?</p>



<p>Come on, Joe. ; You are a pro-abortion President. ; At least stop pretending to be a good Catholic for public consumption. ;</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Biden promotes his devotion to Catholicism. Really?
